Apollo Valves 94VLF10001A 3 Inch Press Ball Valve Brass

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 94VLF10001A is a 2-piece, full port ball valve designed for water distribution systems in commercial and residential plumbing applications. Part of the 94VLF-A series, it features a brass body, stainless steel ball, and EPDM/PTFE softgoods that deliver reliable shutoff performance across a pressure range up to 250 psi and temperatures from 0 to 250 degrees F. The press-style end connections allow for fast, solder-free installation in copper pipe systems. A lever handle actuator provides quick quarter-turn operation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve in hydronic, domestic water, and mechanical room piping runs.

The 94VLF10001A is suited for 3-inch press-connect copper pipe installations in commercial mechanical rooms, multi-family residential buildings, and industrial water service applications. The full port design minimizes flow restriction, making it appropriate for systems where pressure drop must be kept low. The valve handles water media within its rated temperature and pressure limits. Its compact 2-piece body construction allows the valve to be serviced or replaced without cutting out the entire assembly, which is a practical advantage in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Full port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• Press-style end connections eliminate soldering for faster installation on copper pipe
• Stainless steel ball provides corrosion resistance in water service
• Brass body rated to 250 psi for demanding plumbing applications
• EPDM/PTFE softgoods compatible with water media across 0 to 250 degrees F operating range
• Lever handle actuator allows quick quarter-turn shutoff

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch press-connect copper pipe systems carrying water media. Rated for systems operating up to 250 psi and within the 0 to 250 degrees F temperature range. Verify press fitting tool and ring compatibility with the 94VLF-A series before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off system water supply and depressurize the line fully before installing or servicing the valve. Press-end connections require a compatible pressing tool and approved press rings — confirm tool compatibility prior to completing the connection. Do not exceed the rated pressure or temperature limits of the valve or the press fitting system.
